Rant: Nothing In My Closet Fits!



Recommended Posts

I found some reasonably priced bras at Ross that I really like and bought 6 of them :) All of my clothes pretty much come from salvation army or goodwill. I don't mind paying a couple bucks for something I'm going to wear for part of a season if I'm lucky..........

I'm all about the comfy clothes too. The nice thing about living is Albuquerque, New Mexico... It's a pretty big city, but around here- "dressing up" means wearing your "good" jeans. ;) Yep, I'll be hitting up the thrift stores too. I hope you found something to wear. Borrow clothes from your skinny friends ;).

My church runs a thrift store, so as I realize that something is too big, after I wear it, I wash it, and pop it into a donation sack. I ordered some summer things in my new size rom Ebay, and will pop those into the sack in the fall.

Just wait, a year from now you'll be able to grab something you haven't worn for 2 months and know it's still going to fit.....something that at least for me, never happened before WLS - I was always yo-yoing between 3 or 4 sizes.

ISN'T IT THE BEST FEELING EVER????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was the same way. Had various sizes in my closet because I could easily gain weight back in a flash, then gain and gain, lose, lose, gain, gain UGH!

I've been in maintenance for 10 months now and the same size and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was searching through my closet for over an hour before realizing I have nothing to wear! I know this might not seem like a big deal, but I literally fell to the floor crying. I don't dress up often, literally I spend almost every waking second in jeans and t-shirt or my pajamas. It doesn't really matter what I wear when I am in class, doing research or at home studying. But the one day... one day! I want to dress up I don't have ANYTHING in my closet that is appropriate for the club. Not even my bras....

I can't believe I am complaining about everything being too big.

*sighs* I am sorry for ranting, but I really just needed to vent. Weight loss is awesome, but damnit I want some clothes that fit!

That's the ONE THING that I really wasn't prepared for...new clothes/under garments every few months.

This is why every wls woman needs a black, knit, wrap dress. As you get smaller, you just tie it tighter.

Wrap dresses are awesome!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
